The number of cats that you have is; 27 cats

<h3>How to calculate algebra word problems?</h3>

Let the number of cats alice has be x.

Since you have thrice the amount of cats that alice has, then you have 3x cats.

Bob has 7 less cats than you. Thus, bob has; 3x - 7

If they have a total of 56 cats, then;

x + 3x - 7 + 3x = 56

7x - 7 = 56

7x = 56 + 7

7x = 63

x = 63/7

x = 9

Thus, number of cats you have = 3x = 3 * 9 = 27 cats

The sum of 3x and 1 is greater than-5 and less than or equal to 10
ira [324]

Answer:

x is greater than -2 and less than or equal to 3

Step-by-step explanation:

so the 3x + 1 is greater than -5

so 3x is greater than -6

we divide both sides by 3

then we find out that x is greater than -2

we also know that 3x + 1 is less than or equal to 10

so 3x is less than or equal to 9

we divide both sides by 3

then we find out that x is less or equal to 3

so we can say that x is greater than -2 and less than or equal to 3

30 &gt; -6(2X +3)<br> show me how to solve
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
<h3><u>x > -4 is the solution to this inequality.</u></h3>

30 > -6(2x + 3)

Distributive property.

30 > -12x - 18

Add 18 to both sides.

48 > -12x

Divide both sides by -12.

(Because we're dividing by a negative, the inequality sign flips.)
